Inch Rise (4/1), Consharon Boy (4/1), Mill Quest (6/1), Routes Choice (13/2), Tinos Tank (13/2), Emcon (8/1), Smokey Joe Joe (9/1), Captain Bizarro (9/1), Lettermacaward (33/1)

Verdict

Top-weight Smokey Joe Joe is an obvious starting point after his luckless fate last time, while Tinos Tank and Consharon Boy are well worth a check in the betting on their handicap debuts. However, ROUTES CHOICE has been knocking on the door on her last two starts and looks ready to get her head back in front.
  1. Routes Choice
  2. Tinos Tank
  3. Consharon Boy
